TouchPad App Reviews

This app is fantastic! My gear is iPad with Windows vista and work great!

Does not work out of the box, connected with developers, they gave me recommendation that didnt help and then disappeared. I expected the app to have Mac OS X companion app that provides connection, but instead they rely on system built-in screen sharing ca-abilities, that do not work in one click.

Pls return theme options back as they were offered once. It only makes paying customers more apprehensive about updating or continuing further business.

Super easy to connect and great response. No lag so far. Using my iPad, this is easier with better control than the wireless mouse and keyboard. I havent tried all of the key extra control keys in the app, but the touchpad is great, catching and dragging items is easier than with my mouse. People, take your issues to support! Thanks for a great, free, app.

Doesnt always find your device. Works sometimes. For $4.99, this needs an update FAST!!

For some reason the key F is always coming up UPPERCASE in my pc, that is not fun when your passwords use that letter. Other than that it works.

Touch Pad on my iPod mini is the only way I can use my Mac book due to a broken track pad. Touch Pad has been terrible to use since the update, please fix!

The app doesnt connect to my MacBook after it has been closed. Fix this, or it is a waste of $5. Tired of apps not working the way they claim.

Okay, what I want to do is have a Mac Mini I watch TV on, and not bother having a keyboard. I want to control my Mac Mini sometimes using TouchPad, doing mouse and clicking effects but also typing passwords when installing software. I *want* to be able to type on a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad, and have the text show on the Mac Mini that’s being controlled. This used to work, I think, but now it does not, due to some new issues with iOS. I don’t appreciate having barriers erected between what I want to do with my iPad and Mac, at every turn. Please bring back Bluetooth keyboard-through-controlled Mac support, or bring it to us if it wasn’t with us in iOS 6.x. Then you will get 5 stars again.

Ive been using it for over a year. Works great! Ive used it for main OS stuff and for Plex. Ive even used Siri dictate to type for me. My favorite part is that it works with Mac OS natively (no app install needed)

Stopped working. Cant find solution at Edovia support. Perhaps not compatible with newest iOS? I dunno. Just frustrated. Gonna have to find something else.

I’m using this on my iPad mini when my desk doesn’t work. This app starts up and connects quickly and does not require any software to be installed on the computer. Its gestures are a bit different from a normal mac trackpad, and it’s really touchy. Also, because it emulates a trackpad using the remote desktop features of the Mac, you can’t use keyboard+mouse combinations like Ctrl-Click, except using keys provided by the touchpad. You also can’t play DRM-protected video on your Mac while this is connected. I think this is a well-written app, an iOS7 update and some tweaks to make it feel less finicky when right-clicking, scrolling, and selecting text, etc would make it a five-star app.

Refuses passwords

This app works perfect for remotely controlling my computer hooked to to the TV. I really like that it uses VNC software as the back end instead of having to install another proprietary server app. Great work.

Since the app uses screen sharing to connect, it forces my 2013 MacBook Pro to use its discrete graphics card. This isn’t worth the hit to battery life. It’d be better to simply use a built in background app on the Mac.

Where are all the latest reviews? Ive been using this app for over a couple of years now. I steam from a laptop on to my HD TV screen. Yes, I use Roku of course too. But somethings, like online classes etc I need my laptop for. This app makes it simple, simple, simple to control my closed laptop. So I can control the tv screen. Love. Im really loving the new look today too!

The app will not find any computers. Manually entering the info and saving does not work either. The layout is very bad. No more full screen touchpad. You now have a small area to use but that doesnt really matter much because it doesnt work at all! Until now, I would have said this is the greatest app ever.

Hard to read with new color scheme. Not a fan.

Whoa...! If youre not ready for a complete visual change, dont update. This will take quite some getting used to. No more screen rotation? Trackpad only mode? Maybe Im missing something, but my first thought is, why?

Im happy to see this app finally get an update. I use it quite a bit. Its the best option I have found that doesnt require a third party app on the computer side. Unfortunately we are losing key functionality with this update. As another reviewer posted, we definitely need the full screen trackpad functionality back. The keyboard needs to minimize down to just the special keys as it did before. A second tap on the top bar keyboard tab would be the most obvious way to achieve this. Also the themes arent working properly. Theme changes wont stick and the light theme isnt consistent and is buggy.
